...aishiteru...what is angst???....angst nie simply means...any feelings of anxiety...grief...unhappiness...suffering...misery...depression....sadness...and fear....

...if u look it up in The Oxford English Dictionary it defines angst as:...."Anxiety, anguish, neurotic fear; guilt, remorse."....

   
...angst arises from the notion that life is essentially pointless and absurd...and that our miserable existences count for very little in the grand scheme of things.....

....synonyms of angst nie banyak...eg...cold sweat...creeps...distress...dread...goose bumps...jitters...nail-biter...nervousness...shivers...eerrr...nie just to name a few jer...try to find terms yang most commonly used so that u can understand better...


...ps...angsty?...if u look up in the dictionaries...u cant find such word in them...

I noticed that nowadays people tend to say "..world!!..." at the end of their sentence. Is that the latest trend to say something that is cool?...What does it really mean?

bottle it for sale...hehe...

ps. Actually where did u notice all this? Here in the forum? Outside the net?

Examples hmm.....I can think of only one at the moment....just found this from Afdlin Shauki's blog (http://afdlinshauki.blogspot.com/)

"If this thing works, we will know we can change the world.. INI BARU WORLDDDDDDD!"

I have a feeling "worldddd" here has an additional connotation....macam "best sangat-sangat" gitu...am I right? :stp:

...if u look up in the dictionary...cranks up...meaning to cause to intensify...as in volume or force...eg...cranks up the sound on the stereo...

...or...to cause to start or get started... eg... cranked up a massive publicity campaign....


...turns me on plak...meaning...something that really makes u excited...interested...stimulated... or makes u feel sexy...eg...her sweet smile turns me on...
